hello, im andrew. im from Portland, Oregon, USA. im 24 years old.
i have been dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, and insomnia since i was little. i was presribed to many many medications when i was a young teenager, and decided on my own to quit them. i have remained off any meds for years now, i recently started taking Citalopram earlier this year, quit taking them and having had any problems. but now, a year later, i have recently developed really bad anxiety issues where its a constant and daily thing, always have the "fishbowl" feeling, and constantly dizzy... so i started taking the Citalopram again about a week ago. my symptoms have worsened 100%. before taking the meds, i was having anxiety here and there, panic attacks were very rare. but now after starting them, its a constant day to day thing... i have decided to stop taking these meds today, i have only been on them for 4 days as it is. but the side effects are far worse then the benefit. i may be trying a different medication soon. such as lorazapam and maybe some xanax .. i'll let you guys know how it goes!
oh and PS. this website is amazing!!! i have learned so much already and i already feel better simply knowing the symptoms i have are not just me!!!! huge releif!! super happy to have found this site!
